Which came first chicken or the egg?

I know for sure that the egg came first, as dinosaurs and fish were laying eggs long before the chicken was ever to walk the earth...

For some reason I think the chicken seems to me like the animals sowed up first in my way of thinking ! lol

I'm so sorry for coming in so late. However, I don't think there can be any clear cut answer to this question. So, please don't bother about it until perhaps, maybe,next century.

chicken (read and comment what i said earlier)

ummm well first chicken appear on earth.Why???well because i am saying it LOL!!

I'm saying the Chicken.The egg would die without it.The chicken got to keep the egg warm and protect it.So,it would die without a mother.

I have alsways said the chicken myself. I guess because Adam and Eve were both adults when God created them so I would imagne he made all animals adults also.

I have always thought that the chicken evolved from another animal, so the egg came first, just didn't know it was a chicken until it hatched. One the ladies that I work with thinks that the chicken came first because God created the chicken. I guess it all depends on your belief system.

both answers are correct.... sort of. on the surface it is correct to say that the chicken (or bird) came before the egg. having been created by God - not in the shell. however - if you are speaking specifically of chickens, then the egg came first.... but the egg did come from its parent bird.... how can this be? the Chicken is a hybrid its ancestors were not chickens - the first chicken was a freak :) and came from an egg that its papa fertilized and mama laid.

I think philosophers and great thinkers have been asking themselves that question since before time began! :-)

I really don't know....that will be one question that will probably find no answer in our life time.....

God created all things - including the chicken - so the chicken came first.

Some say that you need to have an egg to get a chicken, but I disagree. Chickens are NOT made out of eggs. Chickens are made out of the various elements of the periodic table, just like we are. It makes perfect sense that chickens were created and designed to be able to reproduce more of themselves. It's actually a MUCH easier explanation than evolution. Evolution actually requires a LOT of faith - blind faith if you're not educated on the facts and details of the proposed processes and gaps in knowledge that still exist, and dedicated faith if you know the difficulties the therory and still believe it.

yea,the content of post is very so funny question,you will get the best answer form the best philoshper,if you have any interset in like this fantastic problem.hahha.

I am a believer and so I believe in God and the bible. The bible says that It was on the Fifth Day of Creation Week that He created "every winged fowl after [their] kind" (Genesis 1:21) complete with the DNA to reproduce that kind. Then He "blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply". So I think its the chicken that came first........then the chicken layed eggs.

Are you really serious with your question? This topic has long been discussed by people around the world. Anyway, I guess this is a philosophical topic. As for me, to answer this question, I would often say, "In the Bible, the texts say, 'and God created the fowls and mammals to roam the earth....' The was no mention of, 'and God created EGGS.' Right?!" I thank you. Bow.
